Hi guys and gals,
The Air Training Corps National Aviation Course runs from Jan 12 to 23 2009 and involves 7 instructors & aircraft with 35 students from around NZ. It's goal is to provide air experience for ATC cadets and usually follows an ab-intio training with those capable achieving first solo standard.
This year we require a ground instructor to join the team, the position is voluntary as are all the instructors but you are well taken care of...accommodation is at the RNZAF Base Woodbourne Officers Mess with meals provided (packed lunch provided on flightline).
Basic day to day routine will be breakfast at 7ish, Daily Flying briefing at 8am, flying ops till aircraft tie-down at 4.30ish, in the bar for pre-dinner drinks by 5.30, 3 course meal and then daily winddown in the bar to complete the day.
The main responsibility will be to conduct group pre-flight briefings for the 35 students and be available to mentor/assist any that ask for such assistance. You'll also be on stdby to pick up any slack on the flightline should anyone go u/s.
So all you need to volunteer is a current instructor rating, pref a PA38 or C152 rating, your time, beer money (which is very cheap) and maybe some travel expense depending on personal circumstance (most aircraft need ferrying to and from various locations, so instructor needs will be considered using the ferry flights, RNZAF SATS or commercial travel where available)
Any enquiries can be made to Sqwark2000 via PM with your personal details, and relevant flying experience. Please include contact details.
Cheers
